A shuttle crash leaves Spock, Sulu and Chekov adrift on a deserted ocean world. As Chekov fights for his life and Sulu tries desperately to save him, Spock reflects on the strong bond that exists between the two men and starts to wonder what it is he’s really afraid of in his friendship with Kirk…

So, I was reading UKJess’ indescribably wonderful “Pon Farr Wi’out A Lass” and.... I have no excuse for what happened next. Aliens made me do it.

But, you see, as far as I can tell, the cave stories series doesn’t have a Belfast contribution, and that just kind of sounded like something I could fix. Even though nobody’s actually asked me to. And may very well prefer that I didn’t, after this. Oh, and this isn’t actually a cave story either. I’ll get my coat....

This would be “Amok Time” told in a broad Belfast accent. The rating is for naughty language, because we swear a lot round these parts. I mean, a LOT. A lot lot. The air is blue around the Emerald Isle, is what I'm saying.

We all know that Captain Kirk has to be under the influence of something to find women attractive, but what does Spock make of Harry Mudd's lady friends? A slashy look at the episode, told from Spock's perspective.

Can’t decide between top!Kirk and bottom!Kirk? Me too. And with this PWP, you don’t have to! Set during The Enemy Within, it’s two Kirks for the price of one...

Warnings for slight dubcon. Also, porn. Lots and lots of unrepentant porn. I don’t know if it’s technically PWP, since it’s also First Time (and that’s kind of a plot), but there’s certainly a lot of smut. I’m calling it PWPOALBOP (Plot? What Plot? Okay, A Little Bit Of Plot).

With thanks to T’Lara and Frodolass for the inspiration, and T’Lara again for betaing, despite being buried under a mountain of her own work.

The problem with falling in love with a member of an insanely private species is that it just might take you the best part of a five year mission to work out that the feelings are requited. And then you might discover that he’s already decided that the two of you can never be together.

And what are you supposed to do if he won’t tell you why?

Written as a response to T'Lara’s ingenious challenge, which is noted when it shows up in-text. Huge thanks to my fantastic betas Frodolass, penguin_attie and miloowen for being, well, fantastic. Any mistakes that remain are all mine.

This is a collaborative answer to T'Lara's K/S West Side Story challenge, done in the spirit of a round robin between the co-authors listed above.

Jim and his brother Sam came to Tarsus IV, a booming Federation industrial colony, to earn a year's worth of fast credits in the planet's booming economy. Unfotunately, the settlers find themselves caught in the middle of political peril as the Federation fights a coo carried out by the colony's assistant director, Kodos, and the Klingon Empire.

It's a hard knock life on the colony, but things get even more difficult for the Kirk brothers' and their gang when a group of Vulcan refugees begin encroaching on their territory. Having distanced himself from the gang in favor of honest work, Jim finds himself pulled back into his brother's world when he asks for Jim's help in dealing with the Vulcan menace, threatening to ruin his gang's hard won gains. What Jim least expected to find, in the face of Sybok's band of refugee Vulcans, was love at first sight.

See how the story unfolds.

For T'Lara, whom we all love and care for. We hope this brings a smile to your face and a spring to your step. <3

A thank you to our lovely betas: Jean Marie Sosa, Tydomin and Pintospirk

A thank you to our dedicated manippers, when the time comes: Spock2U and Jean Marie Sosa

A thank you to my (Pamdizzle) personal technical fairy, Wingstar!

(No major character death, for those of you who have seen west side story and are angsting about it. lol)

So, the events of The Enemy Within have led to.... weirdness. Kirk and Spock try to get past the Incident In Kirk's Quarters, and McCoy's old love leads Spock to do something illogical. A slashy look at the episode.

Well, the slash basically just writes itself with this one - the only way it could be slashier would be if there was actual on-screen nakedness. I did what I could, but Kirk and Spock do most of the work here...

A few months after their bonding, Spock requests leave to attend a mid-winter ceremony on Vulcan. Kirk didn’t even know there was a mid-winter ceremony on Vulcan, and he finds himself wondering why his bondmate has had a sudden attack of nostalgia. It could be a long vacation…

Written for the KS Advent 2012. Massive thanks to T’Lara for her thorough and incredibly helpful beta-job (given the length of this fic, that goes above and beyond the call of duty) and for all her advice on Vulcan grammar and sentence construction. I’m pretty sure there is nothing that this woman isn’t good at! For those whose browser or device supports it, a translation from Vulcan to English is available by hovering the mouse pointer over the sentence in question, but if not there’s a translation in the endnotes, or you can download it here.
